Preview scope, checked 9 November 2026: this roster includes the announced Punished clan and its champions alongside the released patch 2.2.1 roster. The Punished is scheduled for 10 November; its entries are preview information rather than an already released unlock.
This table has 13 clans rows. I copied the name and the short effect from the public wiki and I did not invent stats to fill a blank cell. A row with one filed source stays marked that way.
Use the name search and column filters to find a clans entry. Each row keeps its source count and a link to the public reference. A dash means the source did not supply a value; it is not a zero.
